The thirties is probably the decade that’s taken me the longest to figure out. And I don’t mean the hair, I’ve given up on fingerwaves and have accepted that I’m not going to have any luck getting a good set with wave clips. Not the ones that I have anyway… What I’ve struggled with the…
Rain or Shine
Those of you who live near the seaside – I hope you don’t take it for granted! We live a long drive from the nearest beach so it always feels a bit special to make a day trip. And obviously I have to take photos to mark the occasion, since that’s just how seldom we…
Agent Carter Vibes
A bit Agent Carter, a little His Girl Friday. That’s what springs to mind wearing this 1940s co-ord set by Collectif Clothing! Fans of Agent Carter might remember Peggy wearing a very similar outfit, so I couldn’t resist doing a little homage. I felt that a fedora would also be fitting since Peggy Carter wears…
Spider Hollow
I spend a lot of my time cursing that I’ve just walked into a spider web. This is a daily occurrence for me…I might be hanging out laundry, doing yard work, going for a walk…and I’ll walk face first into a spider web. And then I freak out and start patting myself down to make…
Pompous in Plaid
June 15th will be the second anniversary since we adopted Diago. Well yes, of course I keep the date marked on the calendar! For us it is a very special occasion to commemorate because the day we brought Diago home changed our life forever. I don’t know how we lived all those years without our…
Winter Woollies
Yesterday marked the start of winter here and I’m all in favour of the cold windy days that are ahead and the outfits that go with them. With the number of colourful trees I’ve been posting lately you would be forgiven for assuming that these are abundant where I live. Unfortunately though it could not…
Autumn Sunshine
If you don’t like plaid, well, you probably won’t like any of the outfits I’ll be posting here over the next few months. Because I love plaid. And seem to have accumulated a fair bit of it considering I don’t even live in a place that gets a lot of cold weather. When I bought…
The Raven
And here is autumn, in all its glory. The magnificent season that it is, blink and you’ll miss it. This year I’ve managed to time taking photos just as the leaves are at their most spectacular. I said earlier this year that come autumn I want to post some outfits that are darker than the…
Celestial 1930s dress
The first time I saw a picture of a hooded dress being worn it was in this picture of Little Edie Beale. But don’t worry, I can assure you that hooded 1930s dresses are not in fact a gateway to living in a house full of cats and rubbish! And I mean lets face it;…
Ava for Autumn
I’m sure there’s many of you who will agree that there is something so very satisfying about a well priced vintage find! We all know how rare that is with the popularity of vintage having taken off, and if you live in Australia the options are especially limited…So I was buzzing with excitement when I…
